ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special Acknowledgements and Index The Young Elected Officials Network team would like to extend a very special thank you to the program participants, strategic partners, and all the attendees of our 2015 YEO Network National Convening. We thank each of you for your contributions to the progressive movement and for helping to make our tenth year a tremendous success. We also wish to extend our profound thanks to our supporters and funders, without whom this Convening would not have been possible. Thank you to our 2015 National Convening Planning and Welcome Committees. We appreciate the role you have played throughout the year to ensure that the National Convening and the overall YEO Network program remain “of, by, and for” young elected officials. 2015 National Convening Planning Committee Extra special thanks to: YEO Network Team and Volunteers People For the American Way Foundation People For the American Way Young People For Front Line Leaders Academy Alumni PFAW Foundation Board David Altschul James A.
